The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the increase in mass of the copper when it is heated from 0 to 1000 °C. ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between heat, mass, specific heat, and temperature change. The heat \( Q \) absorbed or released by a substance can be calculated using the formula: \[ Q = mc\Delta T \] where: - \( m \) = mass of the substance (in kg) - \( c \) = specific heat capacity (in J/kg·K) - \( \Delta T \) = change in temperature (in K or °C) ### Step 2: Identify the given values. From the problem, we have: - Mass of copper, \( m = 2 \, \text{kg} \) - Specific heat of copper, \( c = 378 \, \text{J/kg·K} \) - Change in temperature, \( \Delta T = 1000 \, \text{°C} \) ### Step 3: Calculate the heat absorbed by the copper. Using the formula for heat: \[ Q = mc\Delta T \] Substituting the values: \[ Q = 2 \, \text{kg} \times 378 \, \text{J/kg·K} \times 1000 \, \text{K} \] \[ Q = 2 \times 378 \times 1000 = 756000 \, \text{J} \] ### Step 4: Use Einstein's equation to find the increase in mass. According to Einstein's mass-energy equivalence principle: \[ E = \Delta m c^2 \] Rearranging to find the change in mass \( \Delta m \): \[ \Delta m = \frac{E}{c^2} \] where \( E \) is the energy (heat) calculated in the previous step, and \( c \) is the speed of light (\( c \approx 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \)). ### Step 5: Substitute the values into the equation. First, calculate \( c^2 \): \[ c^2 = (3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s})^2 = 9 \times 10^{16} \, \text{m}^2/\text{s}^2 \] Now substitute \( E \) and \( c^2 \) into the equation for \( \Delta m \): \[ \Delta m = \frac{756000 \, \text{J}}{9 \times 10^{16} \, \text{m}^2/\text{s}^2} \] Calculating \( \Delta m \): \[ \Delta m = \frac{756000}{9 \times 10^{16}} \approx 8.4 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{kg} \] ### Final Answer: The increase in mass of the copper is approximately \( 8.4 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{kg} \). ---
